Washington’s biggest ski resort—Crystal Mountain—has opened for skiing an snowboarding in Green Valley. For overnighters, Alta Crystal Resort is offering a ski and stay package early season, late season and midweek.

The resort opened Green Valley for skiing and snowboarding on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013. Access is via the gondola. Since the two lifts may run on a day-to-day basis until the snowpack deepens, check on status before driving up.

For overnighters, the Alta Crystal Resort has the deal. Rates for the ski and stay package start at $228 per night for a two-night stay. The package includes two adult lift tickets with gondola access.

The ski and stay package is available every day in the early season and spring season. It also is available midweek all winter during the regular, non-holiday season. Alta Crystal Resort offers chalet suites and log cabin rooms with fireplaces located 15 minutes from the ski area. It also has a heated pool, hot tub and historic recreation lodge.
